Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus 

Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC– 

24 airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

reports of an electrical burning smell in 

the cabin without the presence of 

smoke. This AD requires revising the 

Limitations Section of the existing 

airplane flight manual (AFM) for your 

airplane, as specified in a European 

Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 

AD, which is proposed for incorporation 

by reference (IBR). The FAA is issuing 

this AD to address the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective September 

27, 2023. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of September 27, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: 

AD Docket: You may examine the AD 

docket at regulations.gov under Docket 

No. FAA–2023–1042; or in person at 

Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 

5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to all Pilatus Model PC–24 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on May 15, 2023 (88 

FR 30909). The NPRM was prompted by 

AD 2023–0038, dated February 14, 

2023, issued by EASA, which is the 

Technical Agent for the Member States 

of the European Union (referred to after 

this as ‘‘the MCAI’’). The MCAI states 

that there have been reports of an 

electrical burning smell in the cabin 

without the presence of smoke and there 

is currently no AFM procedure for 

addressing this condition. The current 

AFM procedure for smoke/fume in the 

cockpit and/or cabin requires the 

immediate use of supplemental oxygen 

and smoke goggles for the flight crew, 

which leads to increased flight crew 

workload. Failure to revise the AFM to 

include a new task addressing an 

electrical burning smell in the cabin 

without the presence of smoke could 

result in an unsafe condition. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

provide the flight crew with a new 

procedure in the existing AFM for your 

airplane to address the presence of an 

electrical burning smell in the cabin 

without the presence of smoke. This 

condition, if not addressed, could lead 

to increased pilot workload, possibly 

resulting in a reduction of safety 

margins and an emergency landing. You 

may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket at regulations.gov under Docket 

No. FAA–2023–1042. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received a comment from 

one commenter, Pilatus. The following 

presents the comment received on the 

NPRM and the FAA’s response to the 

comment. 

Request To Revise Emergency 

Procedures Instead of Limitations 

Section 

Pilatus commented that Section 2, 

Limitations, of the AFM is not affected 

by this new procedure, but Section 3, 

Emergency Procedures, is. The FAA 

infers that the commenter is requesting 

that the information in Pilatus PC–24 

AFM Temporary Revision 02371–055 

(AFM TR 02371–055) be inserted in 

Section 3A, Abnormal Procedures 

within the Emergency Procedures 

Section of the AFM and not in the 

Limitations Section. 

The FAA agrees that AFM TR 02371– 

055 affects Section 3A, Abnormal 

Procedures, of the AFM, but FAA 

regulations do not mandate compliance 

with the Abnormal Procedures Section 

of the AFM. As explained in the 

‘‘Differences Between this AD and the 

MCAI’’ section of this final rule, EASA 

AD 2023–0038 requires inserting AFM 

TR 02371–055 into the Abnormal 

Procedures Section of the AFM, but this 

AD requires inserting AFM TR 02371– 

055 into the Limitations Section of the 

existing AFM because FAA regulations 

mandate compliance with only the 

operating limitations section of the 

flight manual. The FAA did not change 

this AD as a result of this comment. 

Conclusion 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI referenced 

above. The FAA reviewed the relevant 

data, considered the comment received, 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
57332 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 23, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

and determined that air safety requires 

adopting this AD as proposed. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. Except for minor editorial 

changes, and any other changes 

described previously, this AD is 

adopted as proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2023–0038 requires 

revising the AFM by inserting a copy of 

AFM TR 02371–055 into the Abnormal 

Procedures Section, informing all flight 

crews, and operating the airplane 

accordingly. This material is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI 

EASA AD 2023–0038 requires 

inserting AFM TR 02371–055 into the 

Abnormal Procedures Section of the 

AFM, but this AD requires inserting 

AFM TR 02371–055 into the Limitations 

Section of the existing AFM because 

FAA regulations mandate compliance 

with only the operating limitations 

section of the flight manual. 

EASA AD 2023–0038 specifies to 

‘‘inform all flight crews and, thereafter, 

operating the airplane accordingly’’ and 

this AD does not specifically require 

those actions. 

14 CFR 91.9 requires that no person 

may operate a civil aircraft without 

complying with the operating 

limitations specified in the AFM. 

Therefore, including a requirement in 

this AD to operate the airplane 

according to the revised AFM would be 

redundant and unnecessary. Further, 

compliance with such a requirement in 

an AD would be impracticable to 

demonstrate or track on an ongoing 

basis; therefore, a requirement to 

operate the airplane in such a manner 

would be unenforceable. 

Interim Action 

The FAA considers that this AD is an 

interim action. If final action is later 

identified, the FAA may consider 

further rulemaking. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 97 airplanes of U.S. registry. The 

FAA estimates the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Revise AFM .................................................... 0.50 work-hour × $85 per hour = $42.50 ....... $0 $42.50 $4,122.50 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

The FAA is issuing this rulemaking 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 

44701: General requirements. Under 

that section, Congress charges the FAA 

with promoting safe flight of civil 

aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 

regulations for practices, methods, and 

procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it addresses an 

unsafe condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(3) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

The Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

2023–15–06 Pilatus Aircraft Ltd: 

Amendment 39–22518; Docket No. FAA– 

2023–1042; Project Identifier MCAI–2023– 

00274–A. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective September 27, 2023. 

(b) Affected Ads 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. 

Model PC–24 airplanes, all serial numbers, 

certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) 

Code: 2100, Heating System. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of another 

country to identify and correct an unsafe 

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI 

states that there have been reports of an 

electrical burning smell in the cabin without 

the presence of smoke and there is currently 

no airplane flight manual (AFM) procedure 

for addressing this condition. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to provide the flight crew 

with a new procedure in the existing AFM 

for your airplane to address the presence of 

an electrical burning smell in the cabin 

without the presence of smoke. This 

condition, if not addressed, could lead to 

increased pilot workload, possibly resulting 

in a reduction of safety margins and an 

emergency landing. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Required Action 

(1) Except as specified in paragraph (h) of 

this AD: Comply with all required actions 

and compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, European Union Aviation

Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2023–0038, dated 

February 14, 2023 (EASA AD 2023–0038). 

(2) The actions required by paragraph (g)(1) 

of this AD may be performed by the owner/ 

operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot 

certificate and must be entered into the 

aircraft records showing compliance with 

this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9(a) 

and 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be 

maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417, 

121.380, or 135.439. 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2023–0038 

(1) Where EASA AD 2023–0038 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2023– 

0038 specifies to ‘‘amend the AFM by 

inserting a copy of the AFM TR,’’ this AD 

requires replacing those words with ‘‘revise 

the Limitations Section of the existing AFM 

for your airplane by inserting a copy of the 

AFM TR as defined in EASA AD 2023– 

0038.’’ 

(3) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2023– 

0038 specifies to ‘‘inform all flight crews and, 

thereafter, operate the [airplane] 

accordingly,’’ this AD does not require those 

actions. 

(4) This AD does not adopt the Remarks 

paragraph of EASA AD 2023–0038.

Telemarketing Sales Rule Fees 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is 

amending its Telemarketing Sales Rule 

(‘‘TSR’’) by updating the fees charged to 

entities accessing the National Do Not 

Call Registry (‘‘Registry’’) as required by 

the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee Extension 

Act of 2007. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

October 1, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of this document are 

available on the internet at the 

Commission’s website: https://

Consumer Protection, Federal Trade 

Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue 

NW, Room CC–9225, Washington, DC 

20580. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To comply 

with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee 

Extension Act of 2007 (15 U.S.C. 6152) 

(the ‘‘Act’’), the Commission is 

amending the TSR, which is contained 

in 16 CFR part 310, by updating the fees 

entities are charged for accessing the 

Registry. Specifically, the revised rule 

increases (1) the annual fee for access to 

the Registry for each area code of data 

from $75 to $78 per area code, and (2) 

the maximum amount that will be 

charged to any single entity for 

accessing area codes of data from 

$20,740 to $21,402. Entities may add 

area codes during the second six months 

of their annual subscription period, and 

the fee for those additional area codes 

increases from $38 to $39. 

These increases are in accordance 

with the Act, which specifies that 

beginning after fiscal year 2009, the 

dollar amounts charged shall be 

increased by an amount equal to the 

amounts specified in the Act, multiplied 

by the percentage (if any) by which the 

average of the monthly consumer price 

index (for all urban consumers 

published by the Department of Labor) 

(‘‘CPI’’) for the most recently ended 12- 

month period ending on June 30 

exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period 

ending June 30, 2008. The Act also 

states any increase shall be rounded to 

the nearest dollar and there shall be no 

increase in the dollar amounts if the 

change in the CPI since the last fee 

increase is less than one percent. For 

fiscal year 2009, the Act specified that 

the original annual fee for access to the 

Registry for each area code of data was 

$54 per area code, or $27 per area code 

of data during the second six months of 

an entity’s annual subscription period, 

and that the maximum amount that 

would be charged to any single entity 

for accessing area codes of data would 

be $14,850. 

The determination of whether a fee 

change is required and the amount of 

the fee changes involves a two-step 

process. First, to determine whether a 

fee change is required, we measure the 

change in the CPI from the time of the 

previous increase in fees. There was an 

increase in the fees for fiscal year 2023. 

Accordingly, we calculated the change 

in the CPI since last year, and the 

increase was 3.0 percent. Because this 

change is over the one percent 

threshold, the fees will change for fiscal 

year 2024. 

Second, to determine how much the 

fees should increase this fiscal year, we 

use the calculation specified by the Act 

set forth above: the percentage change in 

the baseline CPI applied to the original 

fees for fiscal year 2009. The average 

value of the CPI for July 1, 2007, to June 

30, 2008, was 211.702; the average value 

for July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, was 

305.109, an increase of 44.12 percent. 

Applying the 44.12 percent increase to 

the base amount from fiscal year 2009, 

leads to a $78 fee for access to a single 

area code of data for a full year for fiscal 

year 2024, an increase of $3 from last 

year. The actual amount is $77.83 but 

when rounded, pursuant to the Act, $78 

is the appropriate fee. The fee for 

accessing an additional area code for a 

half year increases by one dollar to $39 

(rounded from $38.91). The maximum
